The university clears student housing every spring, and the rental market across the region is expensive enough that people move frequently. Tower living also means furniture is sold rather than stored when it no longer fits.
The rapid transit line runs through the city and the stations are the natural meeting points for anything portable. Tower housing is common, so confirm lift access and loading-bay booking before agreeing to collect furniture.
In tower housing, confirm lift access and whether the building requires a loading bay to be booked. Many buildings here do, and turning up without one wastes an afternoon for both of you.
Burnaby, in British Columbia, has around 250,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Vancouver, Surrey and Richmond are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What winter coats are worth
What lifts the price
- Down and technical fills from recognised outdoor makers
- Listing in autumn, when demand peaks
What pulls it down
- Down that has clumped or migrated out of the baffles
- Listing in late spring, when demand falls away
Working out what yours is worth
- Hold the coat up and check the fill is evenly distributed
- Check cuffs and collar in daylight for marks
Getting it ready
- Check the care label: if it is dry-clean only and visibly grubby, get it cleaned. A clean winter coat sells for noticeably more.
- Look at the cuffs and collar edge, which is where wool pills and where padding wears through first.

- The inner label showing composition and care instructions
- Cuffs and hem, plus any pilling, staining or thinning
Put in the description
- Whether the hood detaches, and whether any fur trim is real or faux
- Whether it is waterproof, showerproof or neither
Bulky and heavy, so postage is expensive — vacuum bags reduce the parcel considerably. Collection suits these well, and lets the buyer check the fit over a jumper, which is how they will actually wear it.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
